Hello.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m a Michigan boy who has lived in NYC over 25 years. I am a licensed NYC tour guide and member of Guides Association of New York City (GANYC). I’ve guided hundreds of tours around NYC. Leave the navigation to me so you can just enjoy the sites and most picturesque views of the best landmarks of our city. I know the best spot that will wow your Instagram followers. I also will provide a commentary of history and local color that I hope you’ll find educational and entertaining. Click here to see reviews of my tours (all 5-star—so far!). I’ve been described as “patient,” “organized,” “very fun” and “a terrific guide.”
I specialize in NYC parks, and I love bike tours, but I also offer walking tours of Central Park, the Highline and Brooklyn Bridge. If the tour times offered here do not suit your schedule, please feel free to message me and we’ll see if we can find a time that works for both of us. I also am also happy to create a custom itinerary that takes you and your group wherever you care to go and explores your interests. Happy and safe travels! — Scott

Brooklyn Bridge and Waterfront Walking Tour
Average Difficulty | $25 | 3 Hours | 3 miles
Enjoy a 3-hour, 3-mile stroll with a 30-year resident of Brooklyn. I’ll lead you to the most picturesque photo ops and find corners that only a local would know. Learn about the history of the people, eras, and technology that defined Brooklyn’s rise. We’ll pass by the homes of some very famous stars of TV and film, as well as through shoot locations you will almost certainly recognize from popular TV and films. You’ll end up in NYC’s hottest neighborhood, Dumbo, home of NYC’s best pizza. Make time for lunch and, during warm-weather weekends, to browse Brooklyn Flea for a bespoke, vintage souvenir.

“Scott is a terrific guide—not just because he seems to know every possible detail of the Island, but also because he cares so deeply for its future. He has volunteered there for years because of his passion for history and for public parks. Much more meaningful than doing this on our own.”
